What seems like a family misunderstanding brought Ormond Beach police detectives out to the home where 28-year-old Jennifer Peabody and her two young daughters are staying.

"Grandma said she wanted the girls and then my sister said 'No,'" Peabody's step-sister Aimee Lau said.

According to Lau, Peabody and her daughters' paternal grandmother had a heated phone conversation on Sunday.

The grandma wanted to know when she'd see 7- and 9-year-old, Angela and Allison Pastorino in New Jersey.

Ormond Beach detectives said Peabody might have made an inappropriate comment that set the grandmother off and prompting her to call police and report that Peabody was planning to kill herself and her daughters.

"We came to check on them and they were gone. But found out they had spent the day in Gainesville," said Ormond Beach police Officer Keith Feder.

The mother, who has custody of the girls, took them to Gainesville to visit her boyfriend and said she spent last night at her home in Ormond Beach.

"I came here and they were all sleeping in bed, so I said let's clear this up and call the cops," said Lau.
